COMMITTMENT

When you talk about love, lust, and longing to passion, politics, and principle; being committed to any ideal takes devotion. Love too much, disappointment follows, follow your ideology too strong, the crash is inevitable. 

So where do we follow the line?   Besides the  religious aspects, lets for a moment try being truthful, where vulnerability, insecurity,  pervades and humbleness overtakes ego.  By making every word uttered hold weight we would never have second thoughts on believing.

Take for example, a friend’s lover is unfaithful – where is loyalty faithfulness to friendship lie?  Be a friend or be the lover’s enabler?

Or belonging in a group with political views not in sync with the rest – voice it out and hope they keep you in the group or face being annihilated.

Ground rules:

Loyalty to oneself – how hard can that be?   Believe me as humans we like to look at the good side of life so it is very HARD.

Loyalty to your spouse that we profess via God, Allah, Buddha – to each other, sometimes fall apart and become broken promises.

Loyalty to ideology changes as our wallets enlarge.  Youth tilts us very left and maturity inclines us over to the right.

Some faiths teaches us the middle ground.  Some faiths are all or nothing.  Believe in your own faith.   Allow the knoledge that time changes, equally your beliefs change and march on with time.   Make that never an excuse or guilt.

Confidentiality is a virtue of the loyal, as loyalty is the virtue of faithfulness.
